Figure 3 Comparison of DNase I with Alba. The N-terminal domain, residues 1−86, of DNase I is coloured magenta, in complex with a nicked DNA octamer (PDB code 2DNJ), and showing the -hairpin that interacts with the DNA minor groove. An Alba monomer is superimposed in yellow, revealing the more extensive -hairpin of Alba, and suggesting that the orientation of the DNA will be different in the Alba−DNA complex. The phosphorus atoms of the DNA are coloured green, and the side-chains of lysines 16 and 17 of Alba are shown.
